This may be OLD stuff to many of you experienced ops., but new to me. I was wondering if there had been any individual DIY projects in the past for building an AZ/EL or Pan/Tilt using robotics? Of course, for our purposes weight and wind load would be a factor. I am not interested in "toy size", as many of the Arduino projects are.
If anyone knows of a site or PDF, please send it to me; either here or to my personal email:
gp_ab5r@outlook.com. I am also good via ARRL and AMSAT using AB5R@xxxx
Thanks,
Jerry
Recommend you email Dave Mathews, KI4PSR at dave@lostfrogs.com. He did an article for AMSAT and can forward some videos and ideas.

I once used a reduction gear box set from the local electronics store
The drive went to a threaded rod
It was a tim system - very rough
